West Palm Beach – A three-person
toilet paper scheme the perpetrators in jail.
Officials in Florida say the people
involved in the con gained more than a million dollars from the plot.
More than a dozen people were told they require special toilet paper
to prevent their septic tanks from damage due to a federal regulation
on toilet paper. They also sold customers what they call a “Septic
Remedy treatment”, which would eliminate their customers' need to
purge the tanks. Also available was special soap and detergent.
The trio, Christopher Lincoln, Mary
Moore and Joseph Nouerand, plead guilty to the crime of wire fraud
and say they will help authorities in obtaining information on
another three people. The company under which they operated, FBK
Products, presented itself as affiliated with the Environmental
Protection Agency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
For
the record the EPA does not regulate septic systems despite what the
company claims.
They are facing more around 20 years in
jail.
